Fulton Center
A beautiful space I had the opportunity to experience and photograph, yesterday...
New York’s newest transit hub opens to the public
On Monday 10th November 2014, the Fulton Center officially opened to the public with thousands of commuters passing through for the first time.
Appointed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority as lead architect in collaboration with prime design consultant Arup, Grimshaw has designed a dynamic transport environment that streamlines connectivity and enhances the user experience for 300,000 daily passengers.
The central architectural concept of redirecting natural light deep into the transit environment culminates in the design of the dome’s interior and a new integrated artwork, Sky Reflector-Net (2013), developed in collaboration with Arup, Grimshaw and James Carpenter Design Associates. The artwork inspired the attention of the public who stopped to take photos and look up at the sky, whilst 120 feet below ground.
